Welcome
In this course, you will get a glimpse of the fascinating ways in which physics plays a role in the world around us through Nature, phenomena experienced in our daily lives, technological applications, and beyond.
The course description link gives an explanation of how this course works. It may seem complicated at first, but all the pieces do work together to enhance understanding. The course description also gives important details on our policies for missed exams, quizzes, etc. The schedule link helps you keep track of what subjects are being covered and what is due when.
i>clickers
We will be using i>clickers in every lecture. You can use either the older v1 or the newer v2 i>clickers. If you have not already done so, please register your clicker by visiting https://my.physics.illinois.edu/iclicker/. Having another student answer questions using your clicker is considered cheating.
Excused Absences
You must have something in writing to be excused from a class. If you are too sick to get out of bed you should call Dial-a-Nurse. You must bring any absence excuses to 231/233 Loomis in person along with a filled "Course absence form" as soon as you return to class.
The deadline for turning in your excuses is within two weeks of the absence. Excuses from the emergency dean must be turned in within one week of the date on the letter. Obviously if you are absent the last week of the semester or have not received your excuse from the emergency dean, you should bring your excuse to us as soon as you receive it.
An EX means that the absence will not count against your grade, but an ABS becomes a zero. Please make sure you know your section(s) and TA name(s) of the classes you missed.
